Al Stewart - Swallow Wind

Look out, look out, Phoenix cried


My time must be at hand


I'm feeling cold and I don't know why


The ground moves where I stand


All the lies she gave to me


In words that twist and bend


Now the only place for me is down in the swallow wind





Far off and long ago


She came when I was young


A silver moon shining in her eyes


And strange the song she sang


All so easy I trusted her


I thought she was my friend


Now the only place for me is down in the swallow wind





And I don't really know what to tell you now


It's something I just can't control


I thought you wanted to take my love


Now you want my soulLast I saw her


She was standing in the sand


The ashen moon was in her hair


And a cross was in her hand


I'm sailing alone she cried


Though I can't believe I sinned


Now the only place for me is down in the swallow wind
